APNA 31st ANNUAL CONFERENCE OCTOBER 18-21, 2017 PHOENIX, ARIZONA

By and large, nurses are people of action. We are proactive, rather thanreactive. We see the whole picture, helping to foster fulfilling lives ratherthan only treating a problem. This year’s conference theme, WholeHealth Begins with Mental Health, speaks exactly to that proactiveapproach. It means that we are shifting the paradigm towards recogniz-ing mental health as foundational to overall health. And what betterplace to celebrate the positive change we bring through our work than

warm and sunny Phoenix, Arizona?

From workshops dedicated to psychotherapeutic and psychopharmaco-logic modalities, to interactive sessions with subject matter experts, to

poster presentations outlining innovative solutions, this year’s programis packed full of actionable takeaways. With over 100 sessions and 48tracks, you’re invited to join 1600+ colleagues and dig into topics likeinpatient practice, recovery models for substance use, integratedcare…and more!

I can’t wait to see you in Phoenix!
